Abstract

In Pakistan, legal education is pulled into immense trouble by its regulation, that which is taught and student performance. This essay takes a closer look at the current state of affairs of the law training there. Attention is put on the standards that are set, course content, and skills that graduates have. One of the major segments paves this compared to leading systems in UK and US. Program establishment, the manner of instruction, personnel supervising quality, and practical job preparation are all areas with gaps. In Pakistan, the new lawyers are deficient of talents required due to scattered rules and old school practices. Man setups in UK and US have stable control, drive seriously on practice, and have steep barriers to entry, so their graduates graduate high-performing. The target of ideas here is on leaders, schools and such bodies like the Pakistan Bar Council or HEC to change. Hitch together loose ends in management For a single way. Renew courses and make them relevant. Increase requirements on standards in order to maintain them high. More emphasis should be put on real abilities and proper behavior. Such gestures uplift the norm of new lawyers and cement the law work in general.
